TBT this week focuses on another one of our career highlights, Rub Radio. This monthly mix can be traced back to our radio show for Scion, which made the jump over to Brooklyn Radio after a few years. It’s become a platform to showcase what’s new and exciting in our collective music worlds as well as showcasing some great music from our friends. Sometimes we even have our DJ friends take the wheel and give us a guest mix. Some choice selections from the series are below along with some links to the entire collection and a way to subscribe to the series every month. Enjoy!

Posted: July 19, 2016 Filed under: Friends of The Rub | Tags: Deejay Theory, fotr
FOTR this week is Deejay Theory. Based in San Francisco, Theory has been repping the tropical side of dance music for what seems like forever and is a mainstay on the U.S. club circuit. He’s an active member of Faction Sound and LargeUp.com. His Tormenta Tropical party in San Fran he throws with Oro11 is one of the most well known Tropical Bass parties in the world. He’s also one half of the Brother in Arms production team with fellow Rub homie J Boogie. Last weekend, he rocked the Northern Nights Music Festival and put together an exclusive mix for the event that you can stream below. Check those tropical vibes and make sure to click some links as well.

TNN keeps it moving this week as the new music flood never stops. We’ve got some electronic and hip-hop newness for you including a resounding return to form from an influential dance act. Justice are back with a new single, “Safe and Sound”. It’s party gritty french disco and part return to the pop crossover days of “D.A.N.C.E” and it feels pretty massive on first listen. Next up, we’ve got Onda flipping Gallant’s “Bourbon” into a midtempo tropical pop banger. Finally, we’ve got FLACO out of Indianapolis and his head nod vibes of “New Things” that has instant replay value. Check out all 3 in full below.
FOTR this week is Doc Adam. This staple of the Pacific Northwest, whether he’s in Seattle or Portland as he seems to migrate between the two, has been around since the Hollerboard days and is still holding court to this day. He’s always playing various different types of parties and rocking numerous styles, something that can be attested to his diverse musical palate. He’s also been a consistent contributor to the DJ edit game over the years. If you ever grabbed any of those edit packs on his Tumblr back in the day, consider yourself lucky to be sitting on that DJ weapon gold. As of late, he’s been steady updating his Heartthis.at page (RIP Doc’s Soundcloud) with new and old edits that are all freely downloadable. He just threw up a bunch of new ones earlier this month and you can peep a small selection below. Click some of those socials and give this dude a follow as well.

TNN is back this week after a week off and we’ve got some big names crashing the new music party once again. While it was a very tumultuous week in a number of ways, the music world came with it and provided us with the continued release it always seems to be there for. First up, there’s Francis & The Lights with features from Kanye West and Bon Iver. You may recognize this tune as a sample from Chance the Rapper’s recent “Coloring Book” mixtape. Second is the Black Hippy (Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock & Ab-Soul) remix of Schoolboy Q’s “That Part” and it just makes you feel like rap is in a good place with this crew. Finally, we’ve got a collaboration from M.I.A. and Skrillex, which honestly seemed inevitable at this point. It appears to be another glimpse into her forthcoming new album as well. Peep all 3 tunes in full below.

#TBT – 143 – Seratocast 37 (1-4-3 Means I Love You)
Posted: July 7, 2016 Filed under: TBT | Tags: 143, TBTTBT this week is comes from our friends from the 143 crew. This crew loves you and is all about the slow jams, love songs and R&B classics. And those vibes are laced all over this mix they did for the Seratocast mix series. As we mentioned a couple days ago, the DJ combo of Partytime, siik and SOSUPERSAM linked up to kick off this successful event series back in 2013 and they are bringing these feels to Coney Island with us this Saturday at The Coney Island Art Walls from 4-10 pm. Grab your tickets HERE. Until then, kick back and soak in the sounds of Usher, Mariah, 112, Drake and so many more favorites from this mix. This event Saturday promises to be great!
FOTR this week is the 143 collective out of LA. Founders Siik, SOSUPERSAM and Partytime created the party in 2013 in effort to create a space for LA folks to hang out and listen to/vibe to their favorite slow jams. Within months of starting up, 143 was packing out dive bars and venues and had ultimately become a big success. Over the past 3 years and change, they’ve had live guests like Ashanti & Ja Rule, Ginuwine, Sisqo and Jon B and guest djs like A-Trak, DJ Wonder, Gaslamp Killer, Questlove, Joe Kay, Jubilee, Mr. Carmack and so many more. The party has hit the road before and they return to NY this coming weekend in a collab event with The Rub out at Coney Island. Check out some videos and links from the 143 crew below as well as details for Saturday’s upcoming event.

TBT this week is a quick shot back 3 years to our anniversary Rub Radio mix from July 2013. Lots of bangers on this mix and some unfortunately have become a bit forgotten in a very short amount of time. You’ve got pre Run The Jewels El-P and Killer Mike, Grandtheft and Skratch Bastid’s fantastic “Miley” tune, Drake’s quiet anthem in “The Motion” and a couple of Rub tune sightings as well. Summer is in full effect and it’s about to be that time to celebrate year 14 of The Rub. Stream and download below.
